Montclarion

Since in 1852, The Montclarion has served the community of Montclair for 160 years. The newspaper was originally founded, like its sister newspaper, the Piedmonter, to garner community in an area of Oakland that was at times hard to reach prior to the construction of highway 13, due to Montclair being located in the Oakland Hills.

Currently the newspaper is distributed in Rockridge and Montclair. Along with the Oakland Tribune and Piedmonter, the Montclarion was bought by the Contra Costa Times company, and later folded into the Bay Area News Group. Currently coverage done by the Montclarion is mainly local columns regarding ongoing events in Montclair as well as culture columns.

Placing historical stories on a map can be tricky. We choose locations based on what we think makes the most sense. Sometimes we get it wrong (and sometimes there is no "right" answer). Feel free to email us with suggestions for improvement.

Browser geolocation is a relatively new technology. Some older web browsers may not be able to use this feature. Sometimes even the best, newest web browsers fail to load a correct location (or any location at all). Functionality depends on a number of additional factors, including the presence of conflicting browser plugins, network conditions, privacy settings, and more.
